The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-10-26
THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.


Election day draws near, and it is
time our Republican friends were
buckling into the work. We wish to
say a word concerning the candidates
of the party. The State ticket is a
very strong one. For State Treasurer,
the party has Damed one of its best
men, Capt. VIM. B. Hart, and for
Judge of the Supreme Court, the party
could not have named stronger or
better man than Henry w. Williams.
Both these gentlemen will be elected,
we predict, by handsome majorities
Of our county ticket, the election of
which we feel is equally sure, we wish
to speak more in detail, not that the
candidates need any more praise, but
we feel it delight to dwell on a tick.
ct composed Of such good men and
true, whose personal acquaintance we
have the pleasure Of
CALVIN NJ. ARNER,
Oor candidate for Prothonotary, Reg.
lister, Recorder and Clerk of the
Courts, is SO well ard favorably known
to nearly, if not quite, every voter in
the county, that it seems that any.
thing we could say in his favor would
be words wasted. Having been nom.
mated by good majority he is fairly
entitled to the hearty support of the
= Republicans throughout the county
on thai 9cJru--afune. Besides this,
however, We can say that he ia q gen.
tleman we'll thought Of by all who are
acquainted with him, universally kind
and pleasant in his manners, and
while postmaster of Tionesta con.
Quoted the Office in such manner as
to gain the approval of every patron
irrespective of politics, and his oblig.
ing disposition made it very pleasant
for all who had business to transact
there. Most of all Mr.. Arner is a
cripple, having lost a leg while at
work in the lnmber woods, since which
time he has not been able to perform
hard work as he used to before he
met with the accident, and is therefore
doubly deserving of the support Of his
fellowInen and we think on this &C
count will get a large support from
the Democratic party. Mr.. Arner
cast his first vote for General Grant
in 1868, and has ever since been a
staunch Republican, always standing
up manfully for its principles. He
has made very thorough canvass o.
the county and We are pleased 10 learn
that be fiEds his prospects very Aatter
ing ineeed. OF his election to III,
important Office for which he has beer
nominated there isn't doubt. Give
him your vote.
